With the war for talent intensifying, multiple Global Business Services (GBS) organizations are designing future-proof skilling strategies to attract, activate, and retain top talent. As organizations seek to maximize the value from their skilling initiatives, they must identify and adopt metrics that can best evaluate the effectiveness and impact of these programs.

In this report, we study the skilling strategies that GBS organizations have adopted and compare the outcomes through a Pinnacle Model® analysis. Based on the study outcomes, we identify and benchmark the KPIs/metrics that GBS organizations use to track the impact of their skilling programs.
